Assuming this is refering to the Safety Related Internet Resources 
list which appears on the CCOHS and Christie Communications' web 
pages and on the Vermont SIRI gopher, please note that the list is a 
text based list and NOT an executable file.  Therefore it is 
extremely unlikely to be the source of a virus.  However it is still 
a good idea to: 
   a) be careful about downloading
   b) virus check executable files
   c) inform the originating source of any anomalies (ASAP please - 
       no one wants to be a virus source)
